MAILS. Duz—i Gottenburgh, r Dublin, 4 Waierford. THE SUN. `DEEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT L 0 ND 0 IV, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 18Cg. This morning we received German Papers to the 18th inst. from which we have made some interest ing Extrals. They confirm the account which-we , • yesterday laid 'before dur Readers respeeling the signing of the Peace. The exertions of the brave Tyrolese, we are happy to say, are attended with suc cess ; they have again defeated the Bavarians with great loss. We are prevented, by want of room, from making any further comments upon these Pa pers. It is our daily task to corre6k the misrepresenta tions, and contradia the unfounded assertions of the Opposition Papers, both with respea to foreign and domestic events. One of them, which has display ed the glost'violent and persevering hostility against the present Ministers, boldly and unequivocally states; that Mr. PERCEVAL has been under " the ne cessity of making overtures to Lord SIDMOUTH, in .hopes that he may obtain the aid oIMr.NANSIT... TART in the Treasury." We can assure our Readers .hat there is not the-slightest foundation - for this as- sertion. We bet eve that it is now finally arranged, that DUNDAS is to succeed Lord CASTLEREAGH as Semtari of State tor the War and , Colonies. The following observations we have extracted from a periodical Work, in the French language, published in this country. After giving extracts from the different French, Dutch, and German Papers re= cently received, it proceeds thus :-- " Before we offer any conjeOures on the false in telligence published officially by BIONAPARTE'Siya§sia courts, and upon, the strange mystery which en velopes the news in the Fretich Papers, we ought to remark, that they do not contradicl the new's pub lished officially at Amsterdam,--they only cohtradia; the orricial Gazettes' of Munich and Stutgard. Ne vertheless, the Gazette, of Amsterdam of the t i th, was certainly at Paris on the itith. Let us now, advert to. what the French GovernMent has Con sented to publish, which, joined to some faEts not generally known, will form the bases of yhe obser vations we are about to offer. “ The French army ip Spain rn3de retrograde Wovernents,at the beginning of (Xtoberi and concen trated to\.vards Madrid. ' NEYhad arrived there with Striff, and SuULT had reoaced joeltDAN. Xe- veitheless the Ahied Army made no movement. One hundred and twenty horse 3 from tile stables of St. Cloud, and seveial,of the Court car riages, arrived at Bayonne early in Oaober. On the tith of Oaober,' BERTHren - traversed Lorraine, cowing from Vienna; and on the 15th Paris Papers, wh+.:l► had announced the arrival of 11.4ARK0NT and tom r; /Us-de-Camp of BUONAPARTZ, preserved a profound silence respeaing the route which BER THIER had taken. MAitrIoNT and the two Aids de-Camp arrived at Paris on the 13th. The Jour tills of the 14th announced their arrival, but those of the I.f to said nothing about the objea of their journey ; they do rid even mention any rumours circulated on their arrival. The return of Buo- NAPARTE was announced for the 15th, 16th or 20th i he was 'expeeted at Foutainbleau, where Madame. BUONAPARTR was to meet him. During this time the Senate ordered a supplementary levy of Con 7 scripts of 36,000 men. Let us now advert to some fads, which may throw a light upon all this. " There are letters in existencei written . by Jo 6EPH BUONAPARTE at the period that he was made King of Naples, in which he gave the two follow ing reasons for having accepted the crown :-4-First, that it was necessary foi the security of the new dynasty on the throne of France, that a BOURBON SliOUld hot sit upon the throne of Naples. Second ly, that there was a plan for transmitting the crown of France to EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS; and that Jo.- §EPII, by refusing the crown of Naples; would have favoured the executir of that proje&, because Buo- NAVARTE would then have united Naples to the Kingdom of Italy. JOSEPH would have fallen into disgrace 'with lii3 brother, who might from that mo ment have caused BEAUHARNOIS to be recognized as his successor in France. - " When JOSEPH arrived at. Bayonne, frightened at the,inaurreetion in Spain, he was disposed to re fuse the crown; but the Fiench Ministers and Ge nerals reminded him of the projels which had been formed respe&ing BEAUHAHNOIS, and suggested to him that he would be much better situated for main tAining his rights at Madrid than at Naples, if they should be disputed. He then determined to accept " It Ipraf . s nearly certain that BUONAPARTE has had an attack orinsatrity: Is he cured ?. His in adlivity, during three months that he was master of , Vienna and Of a part of the Stdtes of the House of Austria;, the tone of the French Journals -from the period of his malady their continual contradhiion on the subje& of the Peace; the official impostures published at Amsterdam, 'Munich, Stutgard, add Cassel; all these circumstances taken together, induce us to believe that there is something extraordinary which they wish to conceal. It is absurd to suppose that the delay of three months arose from the intervention of Russia. If BUONAPARM could have dictated a Peace to Austria, be would not have waited for. Russia. But if we suppose that the malady of BUONAPARTE continues, then every thing is explained, the succes sive prolongation of the Armistice, and the Treaty of Peace, if one has been signed. The moment his speedy reeovery was despaired of, they would natu rally havt determined upon concluding a peace, or a long truce, and have, given the regency to JOSEPH Buo NA PA lITE ; but qris arrangement of course would not have been published until it met with the approbation of the Senate. Then KIRMON'T and the Aids-de-Camp might have been sent. to ac quaint the Senate with the definitive arrangements, and BERTH lER might have been sent to Spain for JOSEPH. In signing the peace they would be sure of the sanction of the people of France : by giving the Regency to JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, the only two parties in France, who have any influence, the Ge nerals and the Senate, would be united in point of interest—the honours, tAe riches, and the titles granted to the Generals would be consolidated, and the. Senate would of course acqUire a greater influ ence than it had under BiYONAPARTE. The 'French Papers lately told us, that a higher destiny was in tended for EUG,ENE BEAVHARNOIS j perhaps he is 'to be made King of Spain." The latest advices from Cadiz, dated the gtb instant, state, that the respective armies of the Spanish Commanders EQUIA, .VENEOAS, -EctiE vAß.Rlo,.and LACY, had lo:rncd a junction,. and that their. united forces were •at least 50,000 men. The whole of thisforce, animated with the highest, entbuSiasM, and well ptovided, were ad vancing towards the enemy, and, according' to the hope and expectation of the people of -Cadiz; an ac tion was soon ekpeaed, to take place.---According to the last accounts from Bilboa, and Gijon, dated the.l7th .and 18th, the Spaniards, after a short, but resolute anion, bad driven the French from the former place. The following letters confirm this agreeable intelligence, EXTRACT OF A LETTER ,FROM BILBOA, OCT, 17. Oar friends are again come :amongst U 3. On 15th early in the morning a great bustle took place, and in.a short time alter ,we observed all the enemy defile otf for Sebastian, by the road of Dilarquina. At two oclock in the evening the advanced guard of a Spanial"livision entered the city, and shortly after the remainder, undcl the orders of Brigadier Don REMiGIO O'HARA, I6ok pOSSeSSiOI) of the town. The numitra" of French . troops did not amount to :more than 460, including cavalry."

The worm on the. fortifications are suspended. The Peace, it is believed will be made public on the day after to-morrow. , Two days after the Ern pexor NAPOLEON will commence his journey, on his return. So far back as the 28th .of September, the EMPEROR declared to several Alarshals that Peace was certain ; adding, that they would soon return to France, and then proceed to Spain. . The Camps at Spitz and Schoenbrunn are bro ken up. The troops are to be quartered for a fei.s; days in tfie suburbs, and will then march hence. LEIPZIC, OCT. le.—M. Von SCHULENBURG has passed through this town, as a courier, with the news of the conclusion of peace. The Saion Prindes, 'who have hitherto resided here, are making preparations to return to Dresden. VIENNA, OcT. 5. .....,The • latest English Papers mention, that the frigate which had subsidies on board for Austria, had returned with the Money, as. nothing could he safely landed on the coast.of the ' Adriatic. Our Gazette mattes "on This subjea thE following remarks :—, • " The English remittances for the relief of the urgent wants of the Allies of Britain, move at an equal pace with their grand and little Expeditions, and with all the other measures of that Government; that is to say, they always arrive too late. Thus, during the last coalition of 1805, the English sub sidies came a day after tfic fair, and in consequence of the delay, served, to support the enemy, and not the allies of Eoglaro." The Archduke MAxim;LiAti, a brother of the "'Empress, who, it is known, wished to defend the town of Vienna against the Emperor NAIIOLEON, . • has been appdmted to the command, of the troops of the Transylvanian insurreCtion. Some of Hungary have, at the request of the Archduke PALATINI4, raised their second contingent of insor 7 reCtion troops, A person belonging to the French Court has been, dispatehed_ from hen ;e. to Hungary to congratulate the` Emperor 1 7 RANots, in the name of the Emperor NAPOLEON, on his birth -day. xesterdpy being the birth-day of his Majesty. our Emperor; a sermon wasp reached; and a solemn mass Was celebrated in St. Stephen's Church,. to pray to GO to . send his Majesty a series of blissful years and happy days. PRAGUE, OCT. 9.- 7 0 n the egth of September 3 brilliant fete was given by the Generals and othet Office's to Qeneral Baron 11EI , ZNAYER, at TOpliB, on account of his birth-day. On the 41h, the birth-clay of our Emperor was celebrated here in complete tranquility. AUGSBURGH, OcT. 7.—More heavy cannon have been placed on our ramparts, and the company of French artillery lying in garrison here have re ceived orders from General . MOULENS, the Governor, to hold themselves ready to mount the ramparts, and salute the Emperor, whose arrival may be speedily expe6led. According to letters from the Royal Palace of Nymphenburgh, preparations are making therefor giving the Emperor NAPOLEON a splendid reception. At three o'clock this morning, the Prince of PONTE Coßvo arrived here, with a suite of ten car riages, and, stopped at the Inn, called the Three Moors. Towards midnight he proceeded on his journey to Munich. 'This _morning arrived here a quarter-master of the Gens'd'Armerie d'Elite, from Schoenbrunn.— These troops are to be distributed in the stations be tween Munich and Strasburgh. AUGSBURG, OCT. 9.—Yesterday at mid-day 164 of the superb French Regiment of the Horse Gens d'Armerie d'Elia arrived here. They were imme- diatelrposted on the road to Strasburgh, for the pur pose of escorting the Emperor NAPOLEON on his return to Paris:- MUNICH, OCT. B—His Majesty received early this'ruorning agreeable dispatches, by a courier from EXTRACT OF A LE:(TRR FROM GIJON, OCT. 1.8. " Our American friend, Mr. BROWI,I, is just this moment arrived from Santander:' He brings an ac eomit of the French having left Biiboa in a hasty manner, and that the Patriots, to the number 012000. men, have entered it, as also Santona and Castro. At hist departure typal Santander, it was supposed that, General BotorT would pursue the same route." The flowing letter, received yesterday" from Holland, spews that the public mind there has been bewildered and confounded beyond all rational conjecture. AMSTERDAM, OcT. 23.—Never perhaps was the political world more completely puzzled than at present. One day it is believed that peace haS actu ally been signed, bat that it is a bad one ,fOr the French ; that is, not so brilliant as former treaties . .., Another day this belief vanishes ; .and the Conqueror of Europe is represented to be deranke4 and incapa ble of any exertion.' BERTHIEK is put at• the head of the army, and INTAi.ot.EoN consigned to solitary confinement at Foutainblean. One describes' the Malady as raging madness; another, as the an nihilation of ail the mental faculties, proceeding from an epileptic fit, to %%Mich they say that great man is subject. Others again disbelieve the whole story : while another description considers him as long no more. fire have been (Sicially told, that the peace is concluded ; and it has not been offi cially contradicted. Various are the ways in which this is accounted for ; but all vague and contradic tory. To speak rationally, one must conclude that 'some event of iMportance haS occurred to prevent the publication of the articles. The Moniteur, as late as the 19th, preserves the most solemn silence on the subject ; and the French funds are con- • tinually fluctuating." Letters of the 15th inst. have been received from Lisbon, and of the I 4th, froth the Army. at Badajoz. The rainy season having set in, the troops were breaking up the . enCariptnents, and going into ter cantonments. The French had resumed their former position .at Placentia. They had left it with the intention of attacking VENEGAS, but abancioned the plan as imprudent. A letter to, Sir ROpERT WI I.SON from Lieut.-Col. GUARD, of the 45th regiment,. dated Valladolid,; Sept.'l7, states, that most of the British Officers left' at:Talavera had recovered of their wound's, and that Gem KELLERM,AN had received such as were passing through Valladolid with the' greatest kindness and attention..

FUSSEN, OCT. 7.—On the 4th of Oelober, birth-day of the Emperor FRANCIS, the innkeeper Hoisti gave a grand dinner of 200 covers, and wore on that day the cross of MARIA TWERRSA, suspend ed from a chain of gold. REIDENHALL (IN UPPER BAVARIA), OCT. 4.-03 the 24th,of September the Tyrolese Insdrgents, in numerous bodies, attacked at the, same moment, and on all sides; the Pass of Lefers. On this occasion they climbed over hills which were hitherto be lieved to be impassable : after an obstinate resist ance, the brave - Bavarians were obliged to yield to superior force, and, after :I not inconsiderable loss, to retreat to Saltzburgla.
